Remembering Pat Brotherton
After seeing a recent post about the Butterfly Garden, Graig Mihok wrote:
Pat Brotherton was known well by my family and friends in Mahwah as everyone's proud kindergarten teacher. When I saw her name at the Celery Farm's butterfly garden a year ago I learned a little bit more about her. I made a short remembrance video if anybody is interested (above).
Thanks for the post and pictures!

Thanks Craig…She was my favorite (and only) sister. She was always happy to run into her former students. Even after many years, she would recognize the grown up version of her beloved kindergarten pupils. I am so glad I moved to Allendale 18 years ago to be closer to her. We became the very best of friends and enjoyed many fun times together. I will share your video with the family.
